Are you a scaredy cat or are you not afraid of anything? Fall somewhere in between? Here are 5 interesting things about why we get scared and even why we don't. When scared, our instinctual survival response kicks into action. This floods our body with hormones and neurotransmitters, making us stronger and faster. Adrenaline is a hormone that plays a huge factor in feeling fear, and gives us the rush some people crave. Secondly, did you know that most of our fears are nurture, and not nature? In addition, the more scared you already are, the scarier things appear. Fear has the power to guide decisions, and oddly enough, we can literally smell fear off of other humans! What are your coping mechanisms to deal with being scared? Or do you...enjoy the sensation of being scared?!

Vanity and narcissism get interchanged so often that line of difference gets blurred. When thinking of narcissism, we often have the mental image of someone who is boastful, arrogant and self-centered. However, that is only a few of the symptoms that they display. Think of narcissism as a spectrum. On the far end, we have a healthy dose of self-esteem that manifests as confidence and self-assurance while we have the narcissistic personality disorder on the other end. Here, we talk about the four types of narcissistic personality traits. Do you consider yourself a narcissist?
